Exploring Numbers, Emotions, and Sports – A Busy Week in Mary Ellis Class!

Miss Ramsdale • March 3, 2025

Mary Ellis have definitely had a busy week back after half term and I have been really impressed with their attitude towards their learning since returning from the February break.

In Maths we have been learning how to represent the numbers 6 to 10 with a five and a bit structure. We have represented these in different ways, using our fingers, using double sided counters within a tens frame and using the rekenrek.

PDL this term is all about emotions, especially jealousy. Before half term we had the Mental Health Support Team in to talk to the children about naming feelings and being able to recognise them. The children were extremely knowledgeable and enjoyed this interactive session with the team.

This week we have begun Cricket on a Tuesday morning and Tennis in our afternoon PE session. The children have had lots of fun learning how to throw a ball to one another and being in the get ready position, to move quickly, so they can catch the ball.
